It's giveaway day! I have two giveaways this time--first, a set of 5 Figgy Pudding fabric gift tags. The fabrics are machine-sewn onto the gift tags with varied decorative stitches. I'm also giving away this pile of scraps leftover from a couple projects I made this year. There are a lot of Heather Ross mendocino scraps, including seahorses, mermaids, octopi, kelp stripe, and swim class. I am also including some hand dyed fabrics as well as a few other scraps of coordinating aquas, oranges, and browns.

All you need to do to be entered to win is leave a comment on this post. I'd love it if you take a minute to tell me where you are and what you're making this week. Or just anything about yourself.

Comments will be closed sometime in the evening on December 6 and I will choose the winners with the help of random.org then.

While you're here, take a look over there to the right and check out my tutorials. I have several quilting tutorials, including how to do quilt basting, free motion quilting, and binding. I also have a tutorial for making a t-shirt charm pack dress and easy kids' capes.

I'm from Ontario, Canada. I'm working on piecing for a Red and White Snowball Challenge, plus getting ready for the quilting process for a Values quilt - just got in some yummy Amy Butler flannel for the back. I love the scraps in your giveaway - I promise I would take good care of them!

Very nice prizes, thanks for participating. :) I'm in Michigan, out in the country, and I'm currently finishing up a hand-quilted couch throw for my mom. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of your blog!

Love those colors and the tags are wonderful. Not making anything this week, waiting for a new waterheater to be installed. But do hope to make some little table trivets to use for pans. Have a great little pattern, just need to find room for my machine. Thanks for the chance!!!!

Isn't it delightful how anything containing fabric makes us oooooh and ahhhhhhh! I am from Ohio and am finishing a woven table runner for a gift exchange our quilt club is having on December 14th. I better not boast but think that it will be finished way before "the last minute" LOLlibrarymom6

I'm from northern Maine, where winter has already begun. Today, I was working on a small rag quilt for my newest granddaughter. Mommy wants a small take along raggie that's easily portable and I'll add a ring for either a toy or pacifier. Great for in the car, stroller, or going to grandma's!

Sewing connects me to the women of my family and I love the heritage I get to participate in :-D

I'm from Lisbon, Portugal.I'm sewing lots of Christmas presents. Last weekend I made an apron for my childhood friend with an AmyButller pattern (Domestic Goddess). It took me 9 hours, can you imagine???Yesterday i helped another good friend who is making her first quilt for her first nephew. Her machine doesn't quilt so I lent her mine and we spend the whole afternoon talking and quilting.Tonight I'll be making a tablecloth for my mother-in-law.

I live in Wisconsin. I'm in the middle of my tree skirt... all of the supplies which I purchase LAST YEAR so as to make the tree skirt for LAST Christmas. I think I will get it done this week! Yay!Thanks for the cool giveaway!

I'm from the not-the-city part of NY (which is most of NY, incidentally). I'm not sewing this week because I'm getting Christmas baking underway! But next up is a home dec project - cushions for a window seat my hubby built.

I'm from Nashville, TN. At the moment i'm working on christmas presents. I finished an apron for my mum and now i'm working on rag letters (following the Happy Together tutorial) for my little nephew. Thanks for offering this giveaway!

Hi! Thanks for hosting this wonderful giveaway! I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and I'm currently working on 2 quilts - one is a mini lap quilt for my mom, and the other is a full size quilt for my fiance and I.

kathy from hillsboro oregon. spent last week making birthday gifts for my niece- a new jumper and a t-shirt with "3" on it. this week i'm just making food to feed my boys as they started basketball games this week!

Hi! I'm from North Carolina....I am working right now on a bunch of sweet baby dolls (http://www.etsy.com/your_shop.php) for my etsy shop and hopefully for my daughter who seems to reject every one I make. She prefers playing with paper at this age..!Anyway, I DO love your scraps, they're very pretty and inspiring (my scrap pile is NOT that neat). patrick(dot)marybeth(at)gmail(dot)com

I'm from Ontario Canada...I'm working on finishing my first queen sized quilt and making some Christmas pajamas for my little girl in the near future. I would absolutely love to win your scraps....they would be perfect!! I'm crossing my fingers..thanks for a great giveaway.jodym7@yahoo.com

I looooove your scraps! I have a softness for Mendocino :D I use scraps for a string quilt I'm working on (another ten year project, I'm sure!) Your tags are cute too! Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!

Hi, I'm from southern New South Wales - about half way betwen Sydney and Melbourne. This week I am making Spool birds in Christmas fabrics for our church's Christmas tree display. I love Mendocino - but don't have any. I think it was this fabric that made me think that orange is not really a horrible colour.

I'm Mary from Florida. Right now I'm sewing strips of Panache together for a stacked coins baby quilt. Can't wait to see how it is going to turn out - that's what I love most about quilting is the anticipation of seeing it all finished and then giving it away :) These are great scraps!

Thanks so much for a chance at this fantastic giveaway...some of my favorite prints! I am making a pillow for my niece now, but hoping to get 2 special superhero capes made using your tutorial before Christmas...thanks again!!

Love your giveaway especially those scraps! I'm currently working on a doll blanket, counted cross stitch alphabet and the backing of an "alien invasion" quilt top. I know, I need help! LOLThanks for hosting this giveaway. Happy Holidays.

you are my first peek into giveaway day, other than my own offering. I am in my little hosue, high up on a hill overlooking trees and the wild west coast of New Zealand's Piha. On the table (literally- all cut out and in various stages of creation) this week are 12 retro handtowels with old buttons from my stash, 11 girls tunic tops in vintage fabric, one tote from weekend sewing (for me!), two bags, two pairs of cotton drill 3/4 shorts with many pockets for small people - barring heather ross' tote, all my design! (phew) - loving those scraps...

oh wow, i LOVE the palette of all those scraps, and the gift tags are inspiring too!

This week I am making some knitted baby booties for a nephew that should be here any day. I am also making some felt christmas trees for around the house, and few new ornaments for the tree! I am in SC.

I'm in upstate NY. It's mind blowingly warm here today for Dec. Hope you have nice weather too. I'm working hard to finish a quilt I started for my sister awhile ago. It'll be on my blog when I finish it if you're curious :)

I LOVE the scraps you have there. ORANGE is my favorite color and it is so under appreciated. I am commenting from Portsmouth, VA and this week I am finishing up a wall hanging for my SIL and hopefully a quilt for my MIL.

I'm from a small town in North Florida--think jeans and boots, not flip flops and bikinis! I'm working on Christmas presents--got a lot to go--a quilt to be quilted, hat and scarf to knit, laptop case to make, etc, etc...Thanks,kellikellbell_6@hotmail.com
